There have been 58 Presidential elections in the United States. Some have been more consequential than others. Pick a Presidential Election that you think had a profound impact on the United States and write a 2-3 page analysis of that election. Who were the candidates? What were the issues? What factors helped decide the election? What were the voting trends?
Be sure to utilize some of the terms that we have learned in class to substantiate your answer:
Class, Gender, Race, Nationalism, Ideology, Social Location
Essays should take the following form: The first paragraph should briefly explain the central argument and provide a clear thesis that expresses the goal of the essay (what will you show?). The body of the essay should analyze how specific evidence that you present relates to, illustrate, or support your thesis. That evidence should be explained through reference to at least one additional text from the lists above. It should conclude by discussing what the analysis can help us understand about contemporary American society.
The best essays will contain a clear, persuasive argument backed up with strong reasons and specific evidence. It will draw upon course texts to explain the meaning of the terminology and/or place the evidence in historical context. It will NOT just drop convenient quotations from the critical materials, but will, rather, think through the arguments of these materials and use them to deepen the analysis.
